Skin Tension

Will we ever find the one
That we were meant to love
Like we want to be loved?
Take this flight into the sun

Or did they die in a dry hump fire
Years before we were born?
When all the hogs devoured the dogs
Like lightening after the storm

And her lips were wet
Like a rose with summer sweat
And when our eyes met
I knew I was dead

Tiptoes on cobblestones in glass stilettos
It breaks my knees when she
Hides her nosebleeds in my dreams as I sleep

And I know I'll never be the man
That she thinks she really needs
But it don't stop me from trying to be
And I scream (I scream)

Oh goddamn you, Miette, goddamn
I let down my guard and you lifted this heart
So now it can break again
Oh goddamn you, Miette, goddamn
I let down my guard and there goes my heart
Straight out the window again

Goddamn
Goddamn
Goddamn
God bless
